Show the answer
Correct answer: a) It separates analogous air masses with no thermal contrast
Why it is correct
In the ITCZ the trade-wind air masses of both hemispheres meet; both are warm and moist (analogous), so there is no frontal thermal contrast between them.
Why the others are not
- b) It is a low-pressure belt where the trade winds converge.
- c) It is an atmospheric low-pressure zone, not an ocean current.
- d) It lies near the Equator and has low pressure.
How to work it out in the exam
- ITCZ: separates analogous warm air masses with no thermal contrast.
